Description

Matrix display and method
The present invention relates to matrix display and utilize a son addressing and the demonstration load of determining this device to control the method for the light output of this device.
As can be known, but that its shortcoming is the generation level of light to this apparatus and method is limited all the time from WO-A-99/30309 for example, light output and power characteristic, and particularly low when showing load, not nearly enough ideal.The gray shade scale quantity that can use when hanging down the demonstration load is always limited, and this is very disadvantageous.
The present invention attempts to provide a kind of and has more advantageous matrix display and method than these known class apparatus and method.Specifically, the present invention attempts to provide a kind of matrix display and method, and it considers the light output that shows load and increase is advantageously arranged with low under the situation that is no more than the maximum power load of supporting power supply.
According to an aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of matrix display of the above-mentioned type, it is characterized in that comprising: the definite device that is used for the demonstration load of definite this device; And dynamically changing sub-number of fields purpose control device, described son field can be used for showing the image in response to the described definite demonstration load lower than threshold value.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a kind of method of the above-mentioned type is provided, it is characterized in that may further comprise the steps: dynamically change sub-number of fields purpose control device, described son field can be used for showing the image in response to the described definite demonstration load lower than threshold value.
Specifically, the present invention has following advantage: by to showing the dynamic surveillance of load, can show that load drops to threshold value and reduces sub-number of fields order when following.So just reduced total scan period (being called addressing period again) in the field, thus the time that the cycle that continues can be used correspondingly increased, even also can provide the enhanced brightness demonstration when showing load low like this.Another special advantage is to be increased to and to be suitable for display is remained near its peaked number from the power that continues power supply and extract continuing pulse number.
Claim 2 and 3 feature relate to various aspects of the present invention, and these aspects can identity basis the present invention reduce the advantage of aspects such as sub-number of fields order simultaneously keeping required gray shade scale number.
The feature of definition relates to dynamically the efficient and feasible device of determining to show load in the claim 4, and the feature of claim 5 and 6 clear and definite described dynamic behaviour and relate to particularly advantageous characteristics such as determining selected sub-number of fields order.
Claim 9,10 and 11 provides the improvement of the voltage range that can correctly work to display.
With reference to following described embodiment, these and other aspects of the present invention will be elaborated, and make it apparent.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 illustrates the block scheme that comprises the display device of matrix display according to of the present invention.
Fig. 2 illustrates the curve map of the hysteresis that explanation introduces when changing the sub-number of fields order of display device shown in Figure 1.
Fig. 1 is the calcspar of the signal of a kind of display device embodiment of explanation, and this display device comprises: comprise a plurality of matrix of luminous displays; And the drive unit that is associated that is used for colour-video signal is sent to light-emitting component.
Fig. 2 is the curve map of the hysteresis introduced when the sub-number of fields order of change of explanation.
In more detail, Fig. 1 illustrates matrix display 10, is used for receiving colour-video signal 12, and colour-video signal 12 sends to sub-field converter 14 simultaneously and device 16 is determined in the demonstration load.Show that load determines device 16 monitoring and analyze the vision signal 12 of input so that the demonstration load that can raise when determining on the screen of matrix display 10 display image.Sub-field converter 14 is used for adding a son timing mode (timingscheme) thereby obtains the required brightness of display image so that signal is divided into a plurality of sons field on the vision signal 12 of input.
The demonstration load determines that device 16 sends a signal to control device 18, and control device 18 transmits control signal to sub-field converter 14 and partial line coincidence (partial line doubling)/gradual change look (dithering) application apparatus 20 again.Control device 18 is according to showing that the demonstration load that load determines that device 16 is determined sends to sub-field converter 14 and partial line coincidence/gradual change look application apparatus 20 with described control signal.If the demonstration load of determining is lower than threshold value, so, control device 18 sends to sub-field converter 14 and partial line coincidence/gradual change look application apparatus 20 with its control signal.After receiving described control signal, sub-field converter 14 is controlled, so that utilize the sub-number of fields order that reduces to reproduce incoming video signal 12; Partial line coincidence/gradual change look application apparatus 20 then utilizes sub-number of fields purpose matrix display driver 22 applying unit separated times coincidence and/or the gradual change look that receives from the minimizing of sub-field converter 14.Then, overlap and/or gradual change chrominance signal 24 sends to the light-emitting component of matrix display 26 from the partial line of driver 22 output.
In addition, Fig. 1 illustrates the display device 102 that comprises display device 10 and power supply 104.
Below operation of the present invention further is discussed.
In notion of the present invention, propose a kind of with the low method that shows load, under the situation that is no more than the maximum power load that continues power supply, increases light output.
Now be described as follows: with D0 represent with matrix display in the unit number connected multiply by the maximum that the product of their turn-on time is directly proportional and show load, describedly maximumly show that load occurs in that S0 continues pulse, brightness is under the condition of L0.If D is greater than D0 in the actual displayed load, then adopt maximum sub-number of fields order N0, do not add partial line and overlap or gradual change look (back will be discussed).In case of necessity, can be by reducing the quantity that continues pulse S, make brightness L coincidence formula S/L=S0/L0 limit maximum load D0, and will be from continuing Power Limitation that power supply extracts in maximal value.But, if actual loading D less than D0, then according to the present invention, reduce the addressing time by reducing used sub-number of fields purpose method, preferably is increased to and can remains near peaked quantity from continuing the power that power supply extracts so that continue umber of pulse.
The partial line coincidence is used for least significant bit (LSB) or utilizes gradual change look or the two to be used in combination, reduced sub-number of fields order, advantageously keep available gray shade scale number simultaneously.
For other matrix display, can utilize the multiframe surface addressing to reduce the addressing time.That is to say, can adopt a kind of method, demonstration continuous images frame on the matrix display that is driven by the son field of the display line that comprises adjacent threads addressing in groups, the picture frame or the field that wherein have the original brightness Value Data are encoded into the son field that comprises one group of effective Zi Chang the highest and one group of minimum effective son field.Shared brightness value is offered each the bar line of a line group in multi-thread group, and for each continuous frame or or for the different zone of display and/or for different son, carry out the different addressing of adjacent threads in groups.
Like this, for each successive frame and for the different zone of display, in a different manner adjacent threads is divided into the line group, for example, in odd-numbered frame, can be divided into three one group at the first half display line of display, and two one group of Lower Half, then opposite in even odd-numbered frame, be used for reducing addressing period or addressing time and do not influence image definition and also do not produce movable glitch.This just can stay more time to give the cycle of continuing.Therefore the shared brightness value of one or more sons can be added to the institute of one group of line wired on.By in each continuous frame and/or in the different zone of display, carrying out the line grouping in a different manner, just can obtain the further reduction of addressing period, and not lose resolution.
Following example can further specify the present invention.At first suppose maximum sub-number of fields order N on the VGA display Max=8 son fields then can get 256 gray shade scales.
What addressing plasma region display panel (PDP) needed can be expressed as T.T.:
T＝T E+T A+T S＝E×(0.1ms)+N×(1.54ms)+S×(2.7μs)
T in the formula EThe expression erasing time, T AThe expression addressing time, T SThe expression duration.
Under the situation of for example PDP, power consumption with show load D increases that be directly proportional, show that load D is the relative number between 0 and 1, it multiply by the product of turn-on time with the unit number of connection and is directly proportional.For white image completely, show that load D equals 1, and, show that load D equals 0 for black image completely.In this example, have only continuous power P0=150W to use among the supposition PDP, and be enough to when showing load D0=0.25, cause brightness L0=235cd/m with the lasting pulse of S0=1000 2
Consider above-mentioned two kinds of situations once more, that is, show that load is higher than D0 and shows that load is lower than D0.When height shows load, reduce and continue umber of pulse, make S/L=S0/L0.This means that high-high brightness reduces, according to L * (D+C)=L0 * (D0+C), C is a constant in the formula, and is relevant with the skew that shows load, usually about 0.07.Certainly, should be pointed out that 8 son fields of common use under the situation of single-line addressing.Show under the load low, utilize gradual change look and/or partial line to overlap and reduce the required addressing time so that assist.This will be used for increasing available duration and added lasting umber of pulse, and this has prepared condition for the high brightness under the low demonstration load again.Importantly L * (D+C)=L0 * (D0+C) relation is still set up.
Required erasing time T EThe sub-number of fields order E that equals to be wiped free of multiply by and wipes the time that a sub-place needs, and the latter is approximately 0.1ms/ field.In current addressing method, E value=1, but for cause clearly, desirable its value equals sub-number of fields order, i.e. E=N MAX
N is used sub-number of fields order, t ABe the time that sub-place of addressing needs, required addressing time T A=N * t A, and in table 1, list, below supposition applying portion line overlaps.In table 1, the value of N in 5 to 8 scope and corresponding to field of addressing under the single-line addressing situation, the time t that needs A=480 the row * 3.2 μ s/ capable=1.54ms.Table 2 has been listed total addressing time of calculating.
Required duration T SEqual added lasting umber of pulse S and multiply by every required time of individual pulse incident, promptly about 2.7 μ s.In the table 2, the duration of being calculated during to 50Hz (20ms field duration) and 60HzPDP work (16.6ms field duration).
Should be pointed out that and only list whole-number result herein.
Table 1 is for reducing required MSB and LSB number of addressing time

When 1000 continue pulse, can on current plasma display panel, produce about 235cd/m 2Or higher brightness.Therefore, in the time of can being desirably in 4259 pulses, under 50Hz, produce 1000cd/m 2Brightness.When 3000 pulses, 700cd/m under 60Hz 2Brightness value be real.
In this example, for the brightness of PDP is increased to 700cd/m when the 60Hz 2(even reach 1000cd/m at 50Hz 2), the present invention has adopted partial line to overlap when producing high brightness and/or the gradual change look, make the power consumption that produces light be fixed on a steady state value all the time, 150W for example, and can obtain 256 gray shade scales all the time., 6 LSB are carried out partial line overlap and/or use the gradual change look, and when height shows load, sweep trace is not carried out double frequency and/or do not used the gradual change look when showing load low.
Further specify this example,, can use the gradual change look to provide equivalent picture near 8 bits if use 6 son fields.In this example, this method is limited to 6 son fields, in order to avoid the picture quality variation.
Furtherly, can be advantageously 3 MBS of single line double frequency and 3 LSB of line double frequency be carried out the gradual change looks to obtain the equivalent picture of 8 bits.
More than explanation changes owing to D and can realize each maximum light output L, and can write down the demonstration load continuously by microprocessor.
As mentioned above, if D greater than D0, then sub-number of fields order gets 8, continues umber of pulse and press S/L=S0/L0 calculating, the result is the several S less than S0, and enough duration can be arranged.If D is less than D0, then continues umber of pulse and still press S/L=S0/L0 and calculate, but only using partial line to overlap and just can realize during for example less son field.Effective number N of addressing period can utilize following formula to calculate:
N＝[T-(T E+T S)]/t A
In the formula, T S=S * 2.7 μ s, T EBe a fixing number, and t ABe approximately 1.54ms.If it is 5 that N, then gets this number less than 5, corresponding lasting umber of pulse will be determined according to above-mentioned relation.If the number that obtains is between 5 and 8, the number listed of free list 2 then, these numbers can be stored in the look-up table as a reference example.Utilize these digital display diagrammatic sketch pictures then.
If show that load changes, then the number of S and N also correspondingly changes or utilizes wave filter to postpone these setting valves.Reaction time is depended on the overload quantity that power supply allows.
The minimizing that continues umber of pulse when height shows load causes free time, and in this free time, light-emitting component does not receive any driving.If this free time appears between the lasting pulse and the erasing pulse after these lasting pulses of son field, then because this free time is depended in the loss of starting (priming) particle, so the discharge when wiping just has fluctuation, the result has reduced the voltage that light-emitting component can correctly be worked.Be positioned at this problem just can alleviate after the erasing pulse free time, but in this case, described starting (priming) still is subjected to the influence of free time, causes described voltage range to still have some declines.
Best solution is to be positioned in the son first continues pulse and second portion continues between the pulse free time, thereby has avoided the free time between last lasting pulse and next stage of beginning to wipe.
Under the situation of the son field that use repeats, free time should be positioned between two son fields that have with equal weight.
Free time can be positioned in the last son of a frame, also can be at any son, or be separated in many sons.
Lag behind owing to when changing the number of son field, introduce, so can reduce such as for example glitch of flicker.If the demonstration of the image of Xian Shiing subsequently loads near the variation of value that sub-number of fields order N changes, this flicker will take place.Fig. 2 illustrates this hysteresis: when the demonstration load of image greater than D 8HThe time, used sub-number of fields order N is 8.When the demonstration load of next image is lower than D 8HThe time, sub-number of fields order N reduces to 7.If the demonstration load of next image is higher than D again 8HThe time, sub-number of fields order N is increased to 8 once more.
Providing of lagging behind can be incorporated in the control device 18.Reached a conclusion by above-mentioned, that is, after sub-number of fields order changed, it showed that load must change (D at least next image 8H-D 8L), sub-then number of fields order N changes again.(D 8H-D 8L) representative value be approximately 0.02.
According to above, should be pointed out that the present invention advantageously relates to the single sweep under maximum son number (that is being 8 to the VGA display at present a) situation.This can be with brightness limit at low value, but height is shown that load is enough.In case but load reduces, just adopt partial line to overlap and/or the gradual change look, so still can provide the demonstration of equivalence 8 son fields, but the addressing time is less.So the duration just can increase.Total like this 256 gray shade scales that realize simultaneously, for example can utilize movement compensation to eliminate movable glitch.
Should be pointed out that the present invention is applicable to such as multiple matrix displays such as plasma display panel and digital mirror device.
Therefore the present invention advantageously considers the low light output that shows the improvement under the load value.As mentioned above, the present invention is specially adapted to PDP except other matrix displays.
Should be pointed out that the foregoing description only is explanation the present invention, rather than restriction the present invention, the professional and technical personnel can design many different embodiment and not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention.In claims, the reference symbol in the parantheses should not be considered as limitation of the present invention." comprising " that a speech is not got rid of has element and the step that is not listed in the claim.Measure word before element " one " is not got rid of and is had a plurality of this kind elements.The present invention can realize with the computer of hardware that comprises several different elements and suitably programming.In having enumerated the device claim of several devices, several these devices can be realized by same hardware.The fact of repeating some measure in the claim that has nothing in common with each other does not show the combination that can not advantageously utilize these measures.
